The 2026 Winter Olympics (Milano Cortina) are already coming to a close, today is the last day with the closing ceremony coming up later, but before then we still have men’s ice hockey medals to hand out and Canada and the U.S. are going to battle it out for the gold and silver.

The men’s ice hockey competition is consistently one of the top three most-watched sports at the Winter Olympics. In many countries, particularly in North America and Northern Europe, it is considered the “premier” event of the Games but for Canadians, it is far and away the most-watched event. For example, during the 2014 Sochi Games, nearly half of the entire Canadian population tuned in to watch the gold medal game.

Starting lines and goalie against Finland

Jordan Binnington will get the start in goal for today’s semifinal game against Finland.

The lines for Canada against the United States:

Line 1: Celebrini - McDavid - Mackinnon

Line 2: Marner - Suzuki - Stone

Line 3: Wilson- Bennet - Marchand

Line 4: Horvat - Hagel - Jarvis

D1: Toews - Makar

D2: Harley - Parayko

D3: Sanheim - Doughty

Canada at the 2026 Games

Canada are favorites to win the gold medal in men’s ice hockey at the 2026 Winter Olympics.

Canada reached the quarterfinals by betting Czechia 5-0, Switzerland 5-1, and France 10-2 and surviving a scare against Czechia in overtime 4-3 and a 3-2 win against Finland in the semifinal.
